I’ve reviewed several cases from Trident—most recently the Trident Aegis for iPhone 5/5s—and I have to say the Kraken A.M.S. is amongst the best Trident has made. I mean, who says iPhone cases this good have to be expensive? Even with its great features, the Kraken A.M.S. iPhone 5/5s case is very affordable.

According to Trident Case, the Kraken A.M.S. iPhone 5 case is the strongest, most durable case they’ve designed. With its hard polycarbonate exterior and soft silicone interior, its durability and the level of protection it provides the iPhone 5 is hard to contest. What’s good about the case’s design is that the soft silicone interior can stand on its own and will provide your iPhone 5 with ample protection. But when you combine it with the Kraken front, it becomes a tough case for your iPhone 5. Even with all the protection, the Kraken A.M.S. case is not too bulky.

Like any other iPhone 5 case, the Kraken A.M.S. protects your device’s power ports and audio-jacks. And like other Trident iPhone cases, this is done by way of silicone plugs that keep out dirt and debris. There’s also a built-in screen protector attached at the front of the case. This screen protector—although thicker and harder than your usual screen protector—will not affect the sensitivity of your iPhone’s screen.

Another nice feature of the Kraken A.M.S. case is the built-in media stand for convenient, hands-free viewing.

There’s also the belt clip/holster that can be easily attached/detached to let you carry your iPhone 5 while on the move. The Kraken A.M.s. case also comes with a larnyard loop that lets you attach key chains, charms and other accessories.

The Kraken A.M.S. iPhone 5 case is available in black, blue, pink, red and green, and retails for $49.95.

Overall, I have to say the Kraken A.M.S. case for iPhone 5 has everything you look for in a tough and durable case, making it a great choice for iPhone 5 users who live an active life, as well as for those who like accessorising their iDevices.
